 Lysimachos Coins - Lysimachus Coins
He was the successor who was given the warlike Thrace, according to the first century AD Greek theologian Justin, because of his bravery and military prowess.
For the first 17 years of his reign, Lysimachos struck only coins in the style of Alexander and Alexander's father Philip II or used coins struck by others, primarily Kassander/Cassander, the king of Macedon who murdered Alexander's mother, widow, and son, Phillip III.
When Kassander died in 297 BC, Lysimachos began striking large quantities of his own coinage, including the famous tetradrachms featuring a deified portrait of Alexander the Great as well as various types of bronze coins, including this one.
